RACER: 1995 McLaren F1 GTR In-Car with Mika Hakkinen at Monterey 

The sound of n/a, no turbo here, Beautiful BMW V12.

Great double tribute, Hakkinen and McLaren F1 GTR. For all autosport lovers.

Hearing that V12 hit the limiter at those screaming RPM's was AMAZING! SO glad the team at McLaren allowed the car to be demonstrated by an absolutely legendary driver. A true drive in a true race car! Thank you McLaren and Mika!

The greatest engine sound ever in a GT car and with Hakkinen, the man who beat Schumacher two times in a row. Great video!

This is THE F1. This is the Ueno Clinic 01. This is probably the most valuable F1 ever. And that is academic really, because this will never be sold by McLaren. So maybe a nice parade lap by Mika? Naah. Mika doesn't do that because Mika doesn't know how to drive slow. It is so pure and beautiful. Will probably get trounced around the track by a 570S, but who cares. When it hit the limiter, goddamn.

Good god... I could watch this over and over. The last of a dying breed, both car and driver.

BMW V12 power! Absolutely amazing car and what a fantastic 1995 win it was at LeMans!

Highlight of Laguna Seca yesterday, in my opinion. Everyone was able to walk right up to the car and Mika just casually strolled in, sat down and drove away. Awesome.

This was the highlight of the day for me yesterday. It was so cool of McLaren to let us look inside the car in the garage and this solo time on track was amazing . What a sound, it reminds you that electrics have a long way to go before they can come close to matching this incredible sound of a naturally aspirated engine. A final highlight for me was Mika Hakkinen signing my helmet. Thanks Champ!

Great seeing Mika behind the wheel instead of on the sidelines at F1 races.

5:53 only Mika would dare to hit the rpm limit in that car 😬

RIP Mr Paul Rosche, you put the M in Motor and that engine was a Masterpiece.

1:15 Even the greats miss a shift

It's nice to see this car being driven as it was Intended. Not paraded around London streets by some poser with too much money.

This is awesome!!!!!!!!! Rolling artwork in every way possible. The missed shift even made me smile.

Makes me think back to my old BPR videos watching Steve Soper double clutching a McLaren.

I'm a simple man. i see Mika and/or F1 , I press like

Analogue machine at its best. People from the near future will find these clips and freak out!

Ecstasy! I love hearing the rev limiter scream in defiance! Speed isn't everything. Manual boxes may slower, but they are a key part of the racing car atmosphere. Without them racing isn't ass cool as it use to be. Cars are faster, but how many modern race cars are you in love with? That soulless Porsche 919 Tribute might be the fastest race car ever, but if it crashes you would feel nothing. If Mika shunted this baby we would all be sick for weeks!

Long time no see, Mika.

Incredible! Everthing about the F1 GTR is crazy. The fact that it was never designed to be a competition car or the fact that the engine although was motorsport derived, It wasn't truly a full race engine. Despite all that, the glorious BMW Motorsport V12 ran like clockwork at nearly full chat for 24 hours. Porsche and Mercedes developed purport built GT1 cars where are the F1 was truly a road car modified for race use. The F1 GTR story will never be repeated!

OMG. Thank you for this Team RACER. ...That sound,-my ears are crying blood in joy--and it wasn't even flat out. MOAR!

Absolutely wonderful stuff. Thank you for posting. Great to see a proper racing driver drive a proper car. Glorious sound. Thanks again

What masterpiece of a vehicle.

Awesome!!! In the first lap we saw that he is taking the hand, then... kick down! Thanks McLaren, thanks Mika and thanks TRC for sharing!

watching this makes me think there will be a day when F1 drivers won't know how to properly drive a car like this without paddles, and its sad, Mikka was one of the last drivers who experienced all while competing, from full manual transmissions to paddles

Thank you for driving this masterpiece the way it was meant to be enjoyed!

Mika & McLaren F1 ... Made for each other ... This video is Motorsport heaven for me to watch ... Beautiful car , cool driver... Amazing sound & fun drive ... RESPECT & LOVE 😍🤩😍😘...... LEGENDARY ..

My all time favourite car driven by my favourite F1 driver ever. One of the few truly respected by Schumacher himself. This was awesome to see

This is pure gold. thx for sharing

I love that you can hear every small input he does with the throttle. Also this dude is a hero.

Legendary car and driver, absolutely awesome video!

Best car ever made!

Smooth as ever,another Hakkinen masterclass.

If someone asked you what car would you want, I'd say this F1 Mclaren!.

Chassis 01R??.... Never seen this before!!

BEAUTIFUL! Amazing video!

Perfect drive and shoot side camera anggle 👍

That's what supercars are supposed to sound like!! Simply awesome! I bet even Mika loved the experience!

Legend driving a legendary car. Just perfect.

Mika always my favorite it was really nice to see the two gear change hiccups it's nice to know that he is human

Absolutely magnificent!

Fav driver, fav car, and beautiful Laguna Seca. Magnifique!

That was big surprise !!!! This downshifts are amazing!

This is the best video on the internet

Whenever i feel down i watch a mclaren f1 video to feel better. Works every single time

I was there for this, and it was such a surprise that Mika was there and so cool that he was beating the snot out of it on the track. I was in the garage after he pulled back into the pits, and he jokingly asked "What's the lap record?". The FINA F1 was there as well. Zak Brown was also standing there - he had a car he was running there.

That driver, that car, that scream, what an unbelievable amazing Racing-Cocktail, legends!

Stood at the 'Esses Indianapolis' in the rain watching this car go on to win one of the best Le Mans races. I'll never forget the TWR chassis Porsche and Mazda Prototypes trying to catch her, never designed as a racer, a weak in-house transmission and yet this F1 brought it home! BEST.CAR.EVER.DESIGNED.

Was standing against the fence in the infield and the sound of this thing coming down the hill into the hairpin was spine tingling. No electric car will ever elicit the emotional response of an IC engine of this pedigree. Ps thanks Racer for recording this but set the exposure control next time!

since playing Gran Turismo, i have fallen in love with this car ❤❤

This is REAL McLaren... P1 or Senna are nothing... a Gordon Murray masterpiece

F1 GTR, the OG iceman and Laguna Seca. That's motorsport perfection right there

My favourite F1 driver and my favourite racing car together. Legends both.

I couldn’t click on this video fast enough. So good!

Mika Häkkinen and a Paul Rousch V12! Mana that guy can drive!

This is why I try and attend the Motorsport Reunion and Porsche Rennsport Reunions every time. All the great marques and cars that come out to play are just fantastic. Hearing IMSA rotary powered racers, to the Audi 90 Quattro GTO with it's ear splitting dump valve...always a great weekend. Well worth the entry price.

what a sound??? AMAZING!

I can listen to that sound all day

AWESOME I REALLY LOVE OLD MANUAL RACE CARS

How does this video not have 48 billion views?

GAAAHHHHH!!!! That last lap seems like it would've been his best

Just imagine being along for the ride when Mika bumps on the limiter on the uphill section and knowing he would not be kind to the corkscrew... Heaven.

I can enjoy this whole day.

Awesome driver, car and track!

Love the sweet sound of the f1. Mika shifting speed is phenomenal, sounds almost like an automatic.

Nice, snarling V12 you got in that McLaren there , BMW.

Good Times! Legends at their best designed to race 🏎!

Wow that thing screams

Double legends 🤩🤩 We love Mika

Legend driver Legendary car 😁👍
